Reading, playing and relaxing

Lapping up the latest trendy novel, taking part in a board game and visiting a museum are obviously daunting activities for the visually impaired.

Overcoming these difficulties and acting as a cultural gateway is one of the tasks of the Braille League, which has a Library well-stocked with books recorded on CD, transcribed into Braille or in a large print format. A Games Lending Library is available for young and less young blind and partially sighted people with games specially designed with their disability in mind.

Creative, cultural and recreational activities are organised throughout the country.

Blind and partially sighted people attend the Braille Clubs once a month to participate in modelling, basket-making, bead crafts, board games… cultural activities (theatre, talks, concerts…) and trips offer other opportunities for broadening horizons and meeting new people.
